Bedsheet Size Guide in India 2025: King, Queen, Single, Double

Choosing the right bedsheet means blending comfort, fit, and style. In traditional Indian homes, handmade block-printed cotton sheets tell a story of craftsmanship and warmth. Below we break down common Indian bedsheet sizes (in inches and centimeters) and show you how they fit various bed types. We also give real Peepul Tree examples complete with product links and share tips on choosing fabrics and colors that suit Indian seasons and decor.

Common Bed Sheet Dimensions

Indian beds typically come in Single, Double (Full), Queen, King, and Super King (Extra-Large) sizes. The exact measurements can vary, but here are the widely used dimensions:

• Single (Kids/Compact Beds): 60×90 inches (152×228 cm)
• Double/Full: 100×108 inches (254×274 cm)
• Queen: 90×108 inches (228×274 cm)
• King: 104×108 inches (264×274 cm)
• Extra-Large King: 108×108 inches (274×274 cm)

These measurements are flat-sheet dimensions (length × width) when spread out.

Each bedsheet size above comes with matching pillow covers in Peepul Tree sets. Measuring your mattress (length, width and thickness) ensures a snug fit. Our table values give plenty of fabric to tuck under the mattress for a polished look.

King Size Bedsheets

King size beds are the largest standard beds in India, perfect for couples who love extra space. A typical king-size sheet measures about 104×108 inches (264×274 cm). The Peepul Tree King sheet is our canvas for grand, luxurious designs rooted in heritage.

For example, Peepul Tree’s Ochre Rust Textured Cotton Bedsheet (King Size) from the Marigold Collection showcases how tradition meets comfort. This sheet (link below) is hand printed in Rajasthan with earthy mustard and off-white hues. This King-size sheet (and its matching pillow covers) measures about 274×274 cm, giving ample drape on a large mattress. Its bold but friendly pattern adds warmth to a modern bedroom, exactly the blend of contemporary elegance and cultural roots that Peepul Tree embodies.

Example: Peepul Tree’s Ochre Rust Textured Cotton Bedsheet with Pillow Cover (King Size) (Marigold Collection) uses a rustic mustard block print on ivory cotton. It’s handcrafted and dimensions 108×108 inches (274×274 cm), fitting a King mattress with room to tuck.

Queen Size Bedsheets

Queen beds are slightly smaller than king beds but still generously wide (often about 6×5 feet). A common Indian queen sheet size is around 90×108 inches (228×274 cm). Peepul Tree’s queen sheets often share designs with kings (just a bit shorter), letting the block prints take center stage.

Take the “Cypress Blue” cotton bedsheet set as an example. This is a Double/Queen-size bedsheet set hand-printed in cool indigo blues and soft white florals. On our site, it’s sold as a “Pure Cotton Double Bedsheet Set” and fits a queen mattress (90×108 inches). The pattern is inspired by Rajasthan’s gardens, which imagine blue blossoms against a white sky. Our tone here is narrative: we speak of flower vines and monsoon nights that inspired the design. The Cypress Blue Bedsheet Set (Queen) is 90×108 inches (≈228×274 cm) of pure cotton. It’s warm and timeless, and coordinates with serene bedroom decor.

Example: Peepul Tree’s Pure Cotton “Cypress Blue” Double/Queen Bedsheet Set (Off-white & Blue, 90×108 in / 228×274 cm) features hand-block printed blue florals. The artisan-crafted design connects to India’s heritage, while the cool colorway feels fresh and modern.

Double/Full Size Bedsheets

The term “double” in India usually means a full two-person bed, typically around 100×108 inches (254×274 cm). (This is often very close to queen size; definitions overlap.) Double beds are common for smaller master bedrooms or guest rooms. A double flat-sheet offers extra length for tucking under a mattress.

For example, our Jaipur Blooms Block-Printed Bedsheet Set is a Pure Cotton double bedsheet (with pillow covers) featuring a classic floral block-print in white on soft beige. It measures about 90×108 inches (228×274 cm). In Peepul Tree’s warm voice: this sheet brings the traditional jaal (woven floral trellis) pattern into today’s home. It feels like wrapping yourself in centuries of history. Even though it’s called “double,” it fits any large single or double mattress. The narrative-driven description might imagine the Jaipur artisans who inspired the blooms, or how the natural dyes create subtle variations.

Example: Peepul Tree’s “Jaipur Blooms” Double Bedsheet Set is 90×108 inches (228×274 cm) of hand-printed cotton. Its intricate floral pattern (in beige/white) reflects our artisan heritage and gives a timeless look to any bedroom.

Full (6×6) Bedsheets: In some contexts “full” or “6×6” refers to a square-sized sheet about 6 ft×6 ft (≈72″×72″ or 183×183 cm). This is a less common Indian size, often used on low-lying cots or custom beds. If you have a 6′×6′ mattress, look for a square 72″×72″ bedsheet. For example, a hand-block printed cotton piece from Peepul Tree can be tucked neatly on all sides. (At 183×183 cm, it’s exactly 6×6 feet.)

Extra-Large (Super King) Bedsheets

For very wide beds (luxury or imported sizes), super king sheets are used. In India these are typically about 108×108 inches (274×274 cm). We call this “extra-large king” or “super-king.” Not every brand carries super-king, but at Peepul Tree we honor big rooms with big art. For example, a custom or larger Peepul Tree set might come in 108×108″. (It’s the largest common size, a full 9×9 feet of fabric!)

We don’t currently list a standard product in 108×108 on the site, but we do mention it for completeness. If you need this size, imagine our premium King-sheet designs extended. The ethos remains: more fabric lets the block-print story flourish. Picture the Marigold Collection in a super-king size; the bold mustard florals could cover an entire 9×9ft expanse. Even for super-king, our tone stays warm and narrative: we’d highlight how the print was born in an artisan’s village, filling a grand bed with color and history.

Fitted Sheets (Elastic Corners)

A fitted sheet has elastic around the edges to hug the mattress corners. Fitted sheets are sized slightly differently from flat sheets. Typical fitted dimensions (with pocket depth) in India are roughly:

• Single: 78×36 inches (198×91 cm) with 10″ (25 cm) depth
• Double: 75×48 inches (190×122 cm) with 10″ depth
• Queen: 78×60 inches (198×152 cm) with 10″ depth
• King: 78×72 inches (198×183 cm) with 10″ depth

(Depth can vary depending on mattress thickness.) In other words, a fitted sheet is typically about 410 inches shorter in width and length than a corresponding flat sheet, since it’s meant to stretch over the mattress. Peepul Tree does offer fitted sheet options for some designs, and you’d match the size to your mattress. For example, a 6×6ft mattress (72×72″) might use a fitted sheet around 78×78″ to allow for tucking under. Our hand-block printed cotton fitted sheets come with the same artisan motifs they just have elastic, making them quick to use.

Standard Sheet Sizes

The “standard” bedsheet sizes in India correspond to the common bed types above. In practice, saying “standard size” often means what most stores sell off-the-shelf: usually Double (100×108″) and Queen (90×100″) are the most ubiquitous. A standard King might be 78×80″ (Western), but in India we call our 104×108″ sheet the King. To avoid confusion, it’s best to match sheet size explicitly to your bed type (as measured). For example, at Peepul Tree we match each sheet to our bed cover listings: our King sheets are meant for 80″×80″ mattresses, Queen for 60″×80″, etc.

Choosing the Right Sheet for Your Bed

• Measure first: Before you buy a mattress, always measure its length, width, and thickness. For loose sheets, compare to the size of the flat sheet; for elastic sheets, compare to the size of the fitted sheet. A flat sheet should be a little bigger so you can tuck it in, and a fitted sheet should fit snugly.
• Consider your bed type: Single beds (typically 3×6 ft) need 90×60″ sheets. Double/queen beds (approx 5×6.6 ft) take 90×100″ to 100×108″. King beds (6×6.6 ft) need 104×108″. This ensures the sheet covers the mattress with enough overhang.
• Check fabric and season: In India’s climate, cotton is king. For summer, use breathable cotton or linen, which keeps you cool. In winter, heavier cotton (higher thread count or flannel) can add warmth. Peepul Tree’s 300TC cotton is a year-round favorite soft like a hug in summer and cozy in winter. Bamboo or blended fabrics are another eco-friendly option for all seasons.
• Match colors and prints to your decor: Our bedsheets are often hand-printed in vibrant or earthy tones. Think of your room’s palette and theme. For a traditional or bohemian look, go bold: e.g. a deep Indigo Floral or Sunburst Red print makes the bed a focal point. For a minimalist or modern space, subtle prints on neutral backgrounds (like beige or off-white) keep things calm. Peepul Tree’s tone here is consultative: “We love how the Marigold (mustard) collection adds warmth to plain walls, while the Cypress Blue design brings a serene touch to a white bedroom.” In general, coordinate or complement your curtains and cushions.
• Caring for your sheet: Use cold-water gentle cycles and natural detergents to preserve hand-block prints. Air-dry in shade so the vibrant colors last, just as our artisans intend.

Choosing the right sheet is about comfort and story. As our brand promise goes, every Peepul Tree piece “carries a story - crafted with care, made to last.” By selecting the correct size and fabric types for bedsheets, you’re not only ensuring a perfect fit, you’re honoring the artistry behind it.
